"It's a bird!" "It's a plane!" "It's a... moose hanging from a helicopter?"

Yes actually.

This week Cassidy welcomes Michigistory's resident biologist Molly Engelman back to the show to discuss the deeply fascinating (and even more deeply strange) history of some of Michigan's most iconic species. Tune in to learn about Michigan's dwindling moose population, the longest running predator prey study in the world, and that time we kidnapped 59 moose from Canada, strapped them to a helicopter, and flew them into the sunset. 

Plus, stick around for a discussion of the most important question in modern biology: what is our role as humans?
